One of Those Days...


In case you wondering what that little speck (left of center) is lying on the tarmac...it's someones luggage. I'm actually surprised it wasn't mine - as I can't imagine my day getting any worse!

Here's a short recap:

- Time spent at airport: 9hrs

- Time spent at home (since returning yesterday) before going back to the airport: 15hrs

- Time before Air Canada notified me (via text) of my flight cancellation: 1min before checking in

- Number of flight cancellations for me today: 2

- Number of warnings about the potential of flight delays: 1

- Number of coffees today: 4 (#1 - at home, and #3 - good company, were the best!)

- Time spent on the computer working: 4hrs

- Time spent on the computer planning/modifying my day due to cancellations: 1.5hrs

- Time spent on the tarmac waiting for flight to leave: 1hr

- Number of kids going gonzo in front of me on airplane: 2

- Number of mothers acting paranoid about her kids safety on the flight: 1

- Number of wax clinics I had to cancel: 1 (Sorry Sigges...)

- Number of workouts today: 0 ( I knew I should have gotten up earlier!)

- Time since I left home this morning to opening hotel room door: 12hrs


- Temp difference between home (-30C) and Vancouver (0C): 30C - This is a bonus!!

- Number of beers I'm going to drink tonight: ...

OK, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic...It was a long day, yes. But I suppose it could have been worse (smiling).

Don't worry, it's 2 more sleeps before you get to sleep in your own bed! I need to get me some of those snazzy Salomon compression long undies. My butt is cold.

I've been wondering what you've been up to, I guess I know now! Safe travels - talk to you soon!

Well, I did warn you :)

I hope your return flight is less exciting.
